About Me

I'm a singer, rapper and songwriter of Hip-Hop, R'N'B and Pop music. I'm also an aspiring actor and a model. I'm based in the West Midlands, England. I write songs in English, French and mixed. I'm from the Democratic Republic of Congo.I also work for a charity called CAASS UK, we help Africans in the U.K. integrate in the society and also promote African arts. I'm in the marketing department, I help organise events and promote the charity, so if you're an artist or if you want anything like that, get in touch.I starred as an extra in Midas' video for Red Shoes, in The Heathers' video for "Heartache And Hairdye" (see the video below) and in Arnie Ghetto's Leave Me Alone and I am to star in another urban soap, still as an extra. We've just finished filming a short film called "Hitman Fusion" and I'm the main character, the editing is done and I've just got to put it onto DVD. You'll be able to see it on my space soon. I'm making another one called "Lost somewhere" and I got a part in one called Larry Blackwell: A Lost Soul. I created another Myspace, which is myspace.com/songsoftom, to promote my music. Why?Well, I wanted to market everything I do on this myspace, but I should have signed up as an artist. So I'll keep the two. Hey, I don't wanna lose my friends. Soooo, I'm after different kinds of acting jobs, including appearing in music videos and voicing animated characters.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Singers, rappers, songwriters, poets, record producers, filmmakers, A&Rs, DJs, actors, writers, production companies, record companies, record labels, film companies, venues, anyone involved in the entertainment business.Also web designers, graphic designers, graffiti artists.

Music:

"I like just about anything I can dance to. Also anything that real, that comes from the heart. And has a good beat." . This is actually a quotation from Stevie Wonder, but it's surprisingly correct. I mean, a decade ago I wouldn't believe it. I thought Hip Hop, RN'B, Soul and Pop was it. Now I enjoy Jazz music, Reggae, Congolese Rhumba, Soukous, Zouglou and Punjabi music as well.
